Intel’s Classmate Netbook gets Pinetrail
Initially born as a reponse to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO Laptop, Intel’s Classmate design has been around since early 2008, and are designed as durable, relatively low cost machines that are ideal for classroom settings. The earliest models weren’t all that exciting, but over the years Intel has spruced things up with a larger keyboard and touchpad and a touchscreen display and swivel allowing you to use the netbook in tablet mode.
Introduced today at CeBIT 2010, the latest Intel Classmate has a 10.1 inch touchscreen display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, along with a rubberized case containing a handle which makes it easy to carry.It also has a resistive touchscreen taht uses a stylus (no multi touch unfortunately). A cool design feature is that the webcam at the top of the display can be rotated, which means you can use it whether the Classmate PC is in tablet or notebook mode.
You can check out a hands-on video of the new Classmate PC fromNetbook News after the break.
